That $400 USD price tag? Oof. It's steep for a retro. Also, the comfort isn't modern—if you want pillow-soft, look elsewhere. The nubuck can be a magnet for dirt and water spots. And being a PE, sizes are super limited. This "Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4" isn't for the casual, comfort-first buyer. My final take? I love this shoe. As a display piece or a special occasion wear, it's fantastic. The "Houston Cougars Air Jordan 4 PE" nails the aesthetic. But be real with yourself—are you buying it for hype, for fandom, or for actual wear? For me, it's a yes, but I totally get why the price and care factor would turn others away. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, pillowy soft comfort above all else, look at other models. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist styles, the AJ4's bulk might not be your thing. And casual buyers on a tight budget might find the premium for this specific PE hard to justify. It's a niche, love-it-or-leave-it shoe. Who should skip? If you need plush comfort, look at newer models. If you're rough on your kicks, that light-colored nubuck will show every scuff. And if you don't connect with the team theme, the premium might not be worth it versus a standard colorway.
